China’s cultural heritage is among the most ancient in human history, and its cultural diversity is as rich as the country is vast.
It spans from the cold, northern steppe along the Russian border, south to the steamy, tropical jungles along the Laos border; and from the China Sea in the east to the towering peaks of the Tibetan Plateau in the west. China today stands between the newly embraced, cutting-edge-modern world and a world that has remained virtually unaltered for hundreds of years. We carefully craft our adventures in China so as to avoid the crowds in this most populous of all countries. Join us on an unforgettable, private journey as we explore the riches of China.

Traveling the world with your family is like sharing a box filled with presents. The box is the world itself and the presents are the bonds that form through the experiences we share, and the perspective, patience, understanding, and tolerance we gain from expanding our horizons and seeing how other people live. There is no greater gift.
In various destinations around the world, we have highlighted examples of exceptional accommodations that set new standards for aesthetics and responsible tourism. These properties reflect our own company values by emphasizing community involvement and the preservation of cultural heritage, protection of natural resources, and sustainability, both in practice and design. They also combine outstanding comfort and service, natural beauty, and functionality. Where you stay along the way can greatly enhance any journey. Options abound, but these are some of our favorites.
